General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having acute infection in your ear, external or middle ear producing severe pain behind the ear and back of head.
Consult your doctor and get examined.
You might require one course of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicine for 5 days.
Ok and take care.
